The softening process adjusts moisture and temperature to improve oilseeds' elasticity and plasticity, creating optimal conditions for flaking. It's primarily applied to low-oil, low-moisture, high-hull-content oilseeds with hard texture.
Softening aims to: Achieve suitable elasticity/plasticity；Reduce powdering and roll sticking during flaking and Ensure flake quality；Minimize roller wear and machine vibration；Maintain smooth flaking operations.
Effective softening requires: Uniform elasticity/plasticity throughout seeds. Customized approach based on oilseed type and moisture content: High-moisture seeds: Heating with dehydration, Low-moisture seeds: Heating with steam humidification. Adequate processing time,Parameter adjustments according to flaking results.
Key applications: Soybeans, cottonseed kernels, and specific rapeseed varieties require softening before flaking. High-oil seeds need lower softening temperatures to prevent oil leakage and roll sticking
QIE GROUP oilseed softening equipment delivers precision moisture/temperature control to achieve: Optimal flaking state，Superior flake quality，Reduced equipment wear.
The ideal solution for vegetable oil processing plants seeking enhanced pretreatment efficiency.
